Residence Hall momentum grows

Share this:

Momentum is growing with Lamar Community College’s upcoming capital construction project. Final construction documents for the college’s new residence hall have arrived on campus, the State code review has been completed, a team completed an on-site survey of the property, and the project is on the agenda to be approved by the State Board for Colorado Community College and Occupational Education in November. Once approved, the project can be bid out for construction.

The LCC Foundation is closing in on its $1.25 million fundraising goal for the first unit with $284,476 left to raise. All contributions to the project are tax-deductible. Donations over $100 are eligible for an additional 25% Enterprise Zone tax credit through South East Colorado Enterprise Development, Inc. (SECED).

The College expects to start construction in early 2016 and plans to have the unit ready for student occupants in the fall 2016 semester.

LCC is preparing to build three units in the upcoming years. The halls will be located directly north of Todd-Burch Residence Hall, LCC’s existing dorm.
